What to Consider Before Installing a Whole Home Generator

A standby generator can have many benefits. You can keep the lights on, keep security systems running, and stay entertained and connected in case of a blackout or natural disaster. All of these things mean you’ll enjoy peace of mind and a sense of security no matter what comes your way.

• Consider generator capacity: Depending on the size of your home and your needs, you may need a different type of generator. For only a few appliances and keeping lights on, a unit in the 5-10 kw range would be appropriate. However, if you want to power your whole home and keep the heating or cooling on, you might be looking for a unit with a 20-22 kw range.
• Consider fuel type: Different units run on different types of fuel.They can use natural gases, propane, or diesel. We can help you examine the pros and cons of each fuel type, as well as their availability to you.
• Consider an electrician: You want a professional to handle installation. You want to be sure that conditions are safe as carbon monoxide leaks can be fatal! We ensure everything is set up safely and the proper distance from your home.
